Steve jobs put it perfectly. "we should give people" he said "what they didn't know the wanted." This motto, while able to be applied to a wide array of products and services, adheres specifically to twitter. Before twitter, we would turn to any number of outlets (the newspaper, magazines, the news) to keep up to date with current events, our favorite celebrities and information about stocks and companies. Now in the digital age, everything is compressed into one easy to use, filterable outlet to gather the data that you deem essential. Twitter gives you the option to choose which people, companies and organization you want to follow, allowing you to filter which information you want to receive, additionally, you yourself can send "tweets" which are basically messages comprised of under 140 characters that are read by your followers. All in all, this is a very efficient, entertaining outlet for people to gather information quickly and efficiently. In a format comparable to that of a social network.
